"This year, my aim is to acquire two oxen that can assist in cultivating land. This investment will greatly benefit me as I can also rent them out, generating additional income. To achieve this goal, I plan to utilize my savings as well as my upcoming transfers. Having this will ensure that my family will have food security from land cultivation as well as an extra source of income. I'm content with the positive changes occurring in my life."

"This year, my main objective is to finish building my two-bedroom house. Our current living space is too small and it's uncomfortable for our family. Once the new house is complete, my family will have a safe and secure place to live, which brings me a great sense of relief and happiness. I'm grateful for the positive changes happening in my life and I look forward to a better tomorrow."

"My objective for this year is to establish an additional source of income to supplement my husband's income. While I have not settled on a specific business yet, I remain optimistic about the possibilities. I intend to utilize the coming transfers to pursue this goal. Having an extra source of income will ensure that our family is adequately provided for, granting me peace of mind. Moreover, it will serve as a lasting legacy even after the program concludes."

"This year, my aim is to set up a vegetable business by the roadside. Given that my husband's income is insufficient, I plan to utilize the upcoming transfers for this venture. Establishing an additional source of income will bring me peace of mind, knowing that my family will be well-provided for. I am thankful for this opportunity to transform my life and look forward to a brighter future."

"This year, my goal is to establish a permanent shop for my tailoring business. Currently, I run the business from my house, which limits its visibility to potential customers. I aspire to finish constructing the shop and expand my stock, offering a wider range of clothing materials for customers to choose from. To achieve this, I plan to utilize my upcoming transfers, hoping that they will enhance my business and increase profits. I'm pleased with the progress I have achieved this far and look forward to the future improvements ahead."

"My aim this year is to build a substantial livestock herd. I plan to allocate a considerable portion of my transfer funds toward acquiring more livestock, especially sheep and goats. Once the herd reaches a sufficient size, I intend to establish a livestock sales business. With the profits from this venture, I will be able to lead a comfortable life. I express deep gratitude to this organization for its financial support, and I eagerly anticipate a brighter future ahead."

"My goal for this year is to expand my shop business. It has been thriving, but I want to enhance it by adding more stock, which will make it more stable. With school closing soon, my strategy is to use my upcoming transfers to achieve this objective. A well-stocked shop not only boosts profitability but also attracts more customers. I'm content with the progress I have made so far and eagerly anticipate a brighter future ahead."

"Our needs vary greatly, and what I require may differ from what another person needs. However, the unconditional transfer I received from GiveDirectly allowed me to plan effectively on my own, enabling me to address my specific needs with confidence. During the enrollment process, the officers displayed patience, respect, and provided me with ample time to navigate through the procedures. It was refreshing to experience an environment free from political involvement, ensuring a fair and unbiased process. The entire enrollment process was smooth and easy to understand, and the reception couldn't have been better. I hope GiveDirectly continue with the same approach."

"All my life, I have longed to provide my family with a place they can call their own home, but achieving this dream was like a mission impossible. My wife and I are parents to eight school-going children, and neither of us has a sustainable job to support our family and buy a piece of land to build our home. Fortunately, my in-law provided us with a small space to build a house for us to stay until we could afford our own place. We both work as farmers, relying on farming on a rental piece of land for both sustenance and to sell surplus produce to generate income for our family's needs. As the years have progressed, farming has become increasingly challenging due to harsh weather conditions, resulting in reduced farm yields which are barely enough to sustain us just for food. This made it difficult for us to support our family and save money to purchase our own piece of land. I felt that my dream of owning a piece of land to call home was slipping away, until GiveDirectly ignited a spark of hope. On this day, I was at home with my wife when I received a mobile money notification from GiveDirectly. I immediately shared the news with my wife, and we were overcome with joy and excitement because this was an enormous blessing for my family. Knowing that at that moment, our lives had made a turn for the better was overwhelming. As a man with a large family, owning a home on our own land was my greatest desire, and that was the first thing that ran through my mind."
